Same condensation problem on NV-DS65 model, water-droplet icon comes on, camera shuts down after a few seconds, useless.

I tried the hairdryer-solution, did not work, left the camera with tape bay open in mild sunlight for a couple of days, did not work, then opened the bottom cover, checked the ribbon connectors, all secure, did not work.

Anybody with any new suggestions or solutions? Please help. Same condensation problem on NV-DS65 model, water-droplet icon comes on, camera shuts down after a few seconds, useless.

Remove bottom plate by unscreewing the 7 screews (for one of them you must open the viewfinder) and make sure the ribbon cables are connected securely . You just need to push genty the ribbon cabbles and reposition the plate, this should solve the problem. TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Its Great

I found this on another site, but it WORKED great for me, and was a VERY easy fix, so I suggest everyone to try it before you go disassembling your camera. I know this sounds very stupid, but it actually somehow fixed my problem, so everyone should give it a go:

1) Turn the camera on.

2) When the dew icon is displayed, take off the battery and then hit/smack the spot on the camera where the battery goes a couple of times (not overly hard, but with some force).

3) Put the battery back and see if it's fixed. If it isn't, repeat the whole procedure. It took me about four tries but now miraculously my camera seems to be working, for the first time in about 3-4 years!!!

NOTE: I don't know what the exact "fixing" spot is, so I just hitted different places of the battery spot (both the upper and lower region). Take it easy first and don't hit too hard, see if it works and try again putting more force if necessary. I still can't believe this solved the problem, wish I'd tried it back when the problem first occured!

NOTE #2: I think this fix will probably also work on some other Panasonic cameras with the same dew problem - in fact, I think the guy who originally came up with this solution actually had a different camera model than I do.. hope this helps guys!

You need to use a fire wire cable and connect it to the computer. (of course you need to install the driver for the camera first).
After connecting the camera turn it on and youse any film making software to capture the movie from the camera and put it on the computer.
